Athos nowadays offers her guests an authentic sailing experience and perfectly coordinated cruises through the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. Designed to be the perfect place to relax this glamorous 10-passenger barge features a comfortable sitting area where you can enjoy a good book, or sip an aperitif before enjoying another gourmet meal at the elegant dining table.
Outside, her spacious sundeck has a large, adjustable canopy to offer shade during a long, lazy lunch. With traditional hardwood deckchairs that provides incredible views and for the more adventurous, there are bicycles available so you can venture along the towpath to the next lock or two.
Cabin Accommodation
This glamorous ship features five twins/double fully equipped staterooms with air-conditioner. Each stateroom offers a private bathroom with shower and modern comforts. Guests can choose to either have the twin or queen-size double bed.
Other Amenities
Aside from the comforts of the barge, Athos has a large sundeck with an adjustable canopy to use at guest's discretion. Deckchairs are also available to relax and bicycles to enjoy along the towpath to the next lock.
The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.

Our advisor at Adventure Life, Mary Curry, was knowledgable and quick to respond with answers to any questions we had. She made our booking efficiently and set up a time for us to make a secure payment through her directly. We’ve used Adventure Life repeatedly and would definitely recommend it.

I selected Adventure Travel as I was not satisfied with the responsiveness of the agent for the cruise I was trying to book and it had good recommendations. So far, I am quite happy with my agent, Betty, very responsive and accommodating.
